We do not know the name of the anonymous author who wrote the Gospel later attributed to the apostle Luke. What we do know is that he wrote his Gospel in Greek Koine, the lingua francaof the Near East, and seems to have been familiar with the art of Greek rhetoric. He was familiar with the Jewish scriptures and also the works of the Jewish historian, Josephus. None of this points conclusively to 'Luke' being either Jewish or Greek, except that he is unlikely to have been a Palestinian Jew. At the time Luke's Gospel was written, around the end of the first century, most Christians would have been Gentiles, so it is quite likely that the author of Luke was also Gentile.

No, the Gospel of Luke is not written from Mary's perspective. We can determine that Luke likely interviewed Mary when he was working on his book, because there are things the Luke includes in his Gospel that none of the other Gospel writers include. There are things that only Mary would have known and so the fact they are in Gospel of Luke, he had to have talked to Mary to learn them.

Who wrote the four gosples?
The four gospels in the New Testament of the Bible were written by different authors. The Gospel of Matthew was written by Matthew, a disciple of Jesus. The Gospel of Mark was written by Mark, who was a companion of Peter. The Gospel of Luke was written by Luke, a companion of the apostle Paul. The Gospel of John was written by John, one of Jesus's disciples.
Which one of the four New Testament Gospels according to Matthew Mark Luke and John is considered by biblical scholars to be the first one written?
Biblical scholars say that the first gospel to be written was the Gospel of Mark. The clear evidence of this is that the authors of both Matthew and Luke copied much of Mark's Gospel verbatim in the Greek language. They say that analysis shows that Mark is not copied from either Matthew or Luke, and that the author of Luke was not aware of Matthew's Gospel. Thus, Mark must have been written before Matthew and Luke. John's Gospel is believed to have been inspired by Luke's Gospel, with some material taken direct from Mark.
What were the four accounts of the gospel written in?

Which gospel was written for the Romans?
The Gospel of Luke best fits the answer, although some might suggest the Gospel of Mark. Luke is written in good Greek, traces the lineage of Christ back to Adam (not just to Abraham as in Matthew), and seems to emphasize the inclusion of both Gentile and Jew in the church. In Acts, which is a second volume of the Gospel, you will note that Paul is proud of his Roman citizenship and that the Roman empire is generally shown as protective of the new church.
When was the gospel of Luke 15 written?
Probably somewhere around A.D. 65.
